Coin Description:

The coin is blanketed on both sides by a glowing golden patina and stunning luster resulting in magnificent eye appeal. An exacting strike yields five full steps for this top pop coin that has only a few minor imperfections.

Comments:

The 1938-D is plentiful in MS67 and with even golden toning. What separates this coin from the pack is the fact that the steps are full. One of only 8 coins graded MS67 5FS by NGC and PCGS has only graded another 32 (2/2012). This coin replaces a toned MS66 5FS that is impressive in its own right. To my knowledge, no collector outside of the top 5 in the registry has a 1938-D MS67 5FS in their collection attesting to its rarity. The majority of these coins are PCGS graded and reside in strong hands in the PCGS registry.
